Crying
Daniel Boone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could smile for awhile
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
Oh, you wished me well
You, you couldn't tell
Crying over you
When you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying
It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before
But, darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you
The song “Crying” by Daniel Boone is a heart-wrenching ballad about a failed relationship. The opening verse talks about how the singer, despite being okay for a while, couldn’t help but cry when he saw his former lover. The emotions seem to be still raw and he can’t seem to get over her. The next verse continues to detail the pain he’s feeling. He recounts the time when she left him standing all alone, and how he’s still crying over her. He then talks about how her touch could revive his emotions and start him crying once again.
The chorus is a repetition of how he’s always crying over her even though he thought he was over her for good. He loves her even more than he did before, but she doesn’t reciprocate his feelings. He ends the song by saying that he will always be crying over her now that she’s gone.
This song perfectly captures how a person can be blinded by love and overcome by their emotions. The pain of a broken heart can be all-consuming, and it can often feel like there’s no escape.
Line by Line Meaning
I was all right for awhile
I was coping fine with your absence and moving on with my life
I could smile for awhile
I was able to put on a facade of happiness, pretending that I was fine without you
But I saw you last night
But my facade crumbled when I saw you again
You held my hand so tight
You held my hand intimately, sparking old feelings within me
As you stopped to say, "Hello"
As you stopped to greet me, with no idea of the emotions you stirred up within me
Oh, you wished me well
You wished me happiness and success
You, you couldn't tell
You had no idea of the emotional turmoil within me because of our past
That I'd been crying over you
That I had been shedding tears over the memories and the pain of our separation
Crying over you
I am still shedding tears caused by you
When you said, "So long"
When you said goodbye to me and left me alone
Left me standing all alone
You left me standing there by myself, feeling empty and heartbroken
Alone and crying, crying
I was all alone, crying because of the pain you have inflicted upon me
It's hard to understand
It's difficult to comprehend
But the touch of your hand
However, your touch always reignites old feelings in me
Can start me crying
Leading me to the tears of pain and longing that I've tried to suppress
I thought that I was over you
I believed that I had moved past my emotions for you
But it's true, so true
But I have not, and it hurts me to admit that
I love you even more
Despite the consequences, my love for you has only grown stronger
Than I did before
More than how I loved you back then
But, darling, what can I do?
But, my love, there is nothing I can do to change your feelings
For you don't love me
Because the feelings are not mutual
And I'll always be crying over you
And I will always have the pain of unrequited love, leading me to tears
Yes, now you're gone
Yes, now that you have left me
And from this moment on
And in the future to come
I'll be crying, crying
I will be crying alone over the memories of our past
Crying, crying
Crying because of the love we once had but can never have again
Yeah, crying, crying
Forever shedding tears for the pain of my love for you
